Hey Dad, don't listen to some of the jerk-offs that will come into this thread and say this and that about your contraption, give 'em the finger and keep pushing your kid up to the top. Looks like the kid is having a blast.

Pretty much this - I'm used to seeing the occasional ad on Youtube vids, but for video with a runtime of less than 2 minutes, it seems ridiculous to have:

- A 30 second, unskippable commercial for Hatfields and McCoys - A Ford truck ad that takes up half of the viewing area after 10 seconds of video - The same Ford truck ad fill up the screen again at the 1:00 mark

Probably not enough weight being tossed at the structure in that fashion to warrant the diagonal bracing. I am thinking the whole car including the kid would weigh no more than 200 or pounds or so. Would smooth out the first curve and switchback a little. Looked a little hard on the neck.But that thing will be torn down before long. Doubt dad wants something bad to happen.Major awesome cool.

Given dad is pushing kid up with minimal effort I am going to go with car plus kid is way less than 100 lbs.Kid is at most 50 lbs. That car at most is 20 lbs.

But yes construction of that was more than safe for the kid. The kid is strapped in so they are not falling out of the car. There is nothing for the kid to hit their head on and unless the whole thing falls apart the car is not coming off the track).

The kid could barely fit in the car at this point, in a couple months they won't care about the roller coaster anyways, and soon after that they won't fit in the car so it won't matter. The track will either need improvements or it will be taken down. Both are fairly easy to do so that it can hold for 200lbs kid and cart.

For that father I would say go for the improvements as the kid grows older it is something to work on together over time.

Detracts from the whole experience. F-. Would not view again.

AdBlock+ Kicks all that shiat to the curb. Didn't see a single add for anything at all.

I didn't know there was such a thing as Youtube in-video ads. Never seen one in all my life. Holy crap, browsing the intertubes with Internet Exploder or some vanilla install of Chrome or Firefox must suck huge donkey dongs. Why do people do that?

old browser/OS builds that don't have ABP versions for them.

ABP is also now allowing "some" ads, so you just don't see their crap, its there.

It felt better to tell the rip off media jerks who took this LA Times original post from a Youtube vid none of them own, and dorked it up 3 times with crap, just exactly what I felt about them. I feel its our civic duty to make sure dying dead-tree media know just how well we all think they're adapting to the new media ways.
